Feeling Fatigue, Excessive Sleep, Weight Gain And Waking Up In Cold Sweats. What Should I Do?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on your symptoms, we need to exclude hypothyroidism- a deficiency of thyroid hormones.
The common symptoms include lethargy, excessive sleep, tiredness, fatigue, weight gain, menstrual irregularities, intolerance to cold, etc.
It can be excluded by a blood test for thyroid profile- T3, T4, TSH.
Please get back with blood reports.
I would be pleased to answer if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
